Landschap met molens 1907

Willem Cornelis Rip's "Landschap met molens" is a 1907 pencil sketch depicting a windmill landscape. The artist, known for his picturesque depictions of the Dutch countryside, used loose, gestural strokes to capture the windmills, trees, and cloudy sky. The sketch exemplifies Rip's impressionistic style, emphasizing the fleeting nature of light and atmosphere. Its small size suggests it may have been a preparatory study or an informal observation of the landscape. The work is a testament to Rip's keen eye for detail and his ability to evoke a sense of place through simple, yet expressive lines.
